Constitutionalist / Universalist
Dear Witchit if you mean you came to realization that you are secular nontheist, that still does not conflict with or negate there are universal laws of nature and forces of life that affect all humanity and the world we live in. You do not have to see Life in terms of a personified God. Lots of people study the laws of science as secular, while others may personify these forces as Mother Nature and it doesn't change the fact the universe works in certain ways under an interconnected system that had existed before humans became self aware. You may call it something neutral or secular, but the laws of the universe are still what they are whether we call or credit them to a source of Life or God or the Universe or Creation. That's what faith in God means, to have faith there is a universal system of laws plans and or purpose in life, that these forces are benevolent in that they favor Life and survival/growth not death and destruction, because the influence of good outweighs the evil that exists so we humans learn the difference by free will reason and conscience. Even if you question these things, that is part of faith in the conscience to seek truth and justice. So this drives everyone whether Jew or Gentile, theist believer or secular nontheist. Universal laws operate the same regardless what language we use to express these relationships between us as individuals with free will and the collective level of society humanity or the universe.
Do you believe in natural laws of reason, learning by cause and effect, or laws of justice governing all humanity?
Do you believe in the Golden Rule of reciprocity or laws of Attraction that govern human relations and growth toward spiritual and social maturity?
How would you describe your beliefs about Life, and why would you say these aren't compatible with the true ideals that Christianity is supposed to teach? Thanks Witchit
I believe that when we all follow the right path for each of us consistently in life, then all these are compatible in harmony spiritually like an orchestra made of diverse parts and sections that balance and blend perfectly. It's when we aren't playing our part in tune or in time but are off key or off balance, then we clash with each other. We are supposed to be different by design, but the Symphony still works if we align our parts according to the score that includes everyone in it. So we are supposed to be of different tribes or sections that serve unique purpose. That's part of the Symphony in life.
What do you see working or not working? How would you describe what is going wrong with different tribes that aren't harmonizing?
